Elsana Begins
1 min read
Well, just uploaded my first Frozen art. I'm working on learning how to draw Elsa and Anna properly before moving on to my addiction to Elsana. Already working on one not-for-kiddies project, plan on more (suggestive but not censor-worthy) to go with a story I'm writing. I heard there's another Frozen movie in the works and I'm all a-giggle over it! Until then, I'll just keep my Elsana blinders on and see what happens with my art for it.

So How Did I End Up Here?
2 min read
Well, here I am, a freshly-minted member of deviantArt. Why, you ask? To be honest, it's primarily so that I can organize my favorite artists. I've always had an interest in creating art, but the standard refrain was "I wish I could draw". I have this spacial concept deficit that makes my pen-and-paper sketches look pretty weird. I also have a slight addiction to the Yuri/Shoujo genre of manga and Visual Novels (aka Eroge). As writing fiction is my actual job, there has been many a time I have had this conversation with myself:
Me: "Ooooh, this plot would go great in a manga!"
Self-Censor: "You can't draw, dingbat."
Me: "What a waste. I wish I could draw."
Self-Censor: "Get back to work."
Enter Photoshop. I design my own book covers and am married to a photographer, so I have a more-than-passing understanding of this program. I never considered that I could create actual "art" with it; I'm still not sure what I'm doing is even considered art, but that is a debate for another day. I had this plot that kept popping up so one day (mostly because I was bored with the umpteenth revision of my latest novel) I said "What the hay, let's cobble together some bits from existing manga and make a doujinshi for fun."
I'd planned on staying in black and white, figuring color was far beyond my capabilities. Then I used a color model from one of my eroge and suddenly I was creating my own characters in full color. Mind you, I am very, very new at this so what is great to me is not exactly publication-worthy. I kept finding deviantArt popping up in searches, and found the awesome resources other deviants have made available, and I was hooked.
So, here I am, a humble artist playing in the (very) shallow end of the pool. I therefore bow and say, Please take care of me.
